[potent spear]

loading extensions also became async, but that's on dpy, I don't know about forks

[slate swan]

my json file look like this :

{
  "219550798864973824",
  "1111504619076599808"
}

[buoyant quail]

                mentioned_ids = [mention.id for mention in message.mentions]
                if any(str(user_id) in mentioned_ids for user_id in ids):

i believe mention.id is returning integer, not string

[potent spear]

these are strings, not ints, so indeed, you're comparing ints with strings, which will never be True

[slate swan]

so without the quotes ?

[potent spear]

I'd just rewrite and actually use a DB tbh

[slate swan]

later, im just trying rn

[potent spear]

try and see, you know the issue now

[slate swan]

nextcord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'events.ping' raised an error: JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 2 column 3 (char 4)

[potent spear]

which code exactly?

[slate swan]

the ping code

i sent before

[potent spear]

so, you can google that error actually, the answer is quite simple

[buoyant quail]

How did it even run before, it's not valid json

!e

import json 
print(json.loads("""

  "219550798864973824",

[potent spear]

probably just copied incorrectly

[slate swan]

i know, it says its can work without quotes

i can read

[buoyant quail]

Make it a list or a dict. There are no sets in json

[
  219550798864973824,
  1111504619076599808
]

[slate swan]

i want to save it later

like making a command that save it (like -activate_dontpingme)

and i tried using a list but not working

like this :

ids = ["1111504619076599808"]```

[buoyant quail]

the problem is here

you are still casting it to string in the any

[slate swan]

so i need to remove it ?

[buoyant quail]

yeah (and make them ints in the file)

or cast the mention ids to string too

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

This is a python server

[slate swan]

only python ^^

oops

any ts/js server?

[slate swan]

discord.gg/djs

how to respond to a non-interaction message ?

i searched the doc

[slate swan]

if you want to send message you need abc.Messageable if you want to reply to a message you need Message and do .reply on it

!d discord.Message.reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reply

await reply(content=None, **kwargs)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.11)") or [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "(in Python v3.11)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[slate swan]

oh yeah

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[slate swan]

so message.reply("message") ?

[slate swan]

its awaitable but yes

okey

thnks

[smoky sinew]

** 😔

[slate swan]

hi, so i made my bot add reactions to msgs, but how do i do this? https://gyazo.com/8163181196238c21baf1ec02262d99c4

Add buttons instead of reactions

One example is https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py though there are other examples in the folder

    # This one is similar to the confirmation button except sets the inner value to `False`
    @discord.ui.button(label='Cancel', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def cancel(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Cancelling', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = False
        self.stop()```
this?

The entire file is relevant

Not just "this"

oh but buttons, like, they are per user, no?

No, anyone can click them

well yes but 2 ppl can click them

they are only clickable once, no?

They're just like reactions

[slate swan]

No, can click them indefinitely unless you set the disabled attribute to True once the user clicks on it

And once it's set to disabled, nobody can click it

okey okey

so what will be better for this scenario. I am asking something but i want like a confirmation, since when "yes" is pressed there is no way to undo. So before u had to write !yes twice, so mistakes were less likely. Now i was moving to emoji, and getting the count. But the other option is buttons. What would u use?

Buttons are much easier to work with

Not sure how different it is to reactions

In the end it's the same interaction from the user, just in a better UX way

yeah, but u dont have like a count for how many times someone pressed "yes"

with emojis, must be different ppl tho

You can, create a counter

with the !yes, same user could write it multiple times

im pretty sure with button u can count them too

So every time u press yes, i add 1 to a counter?

and u can press it again?

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py as mentioned above, examples

i see, so i guess buttons 😄

Much better imo, yeah

btw...

    perms = ctx.channel.permissions_for(ctx.me)
    if not perms.send_messages:
        return```
This code is useless right?

Like, discord api will already return if bot doesnt have perms

right?

discord api will already return if bot doesnt have perms
Meaning?

if i call a command which is supposed that the bot will send "hello world"

it wont if it doesnt have the perms

It will throw an error

yeah, but only me will see such error on the console, right?

It will get logged unless you have an error handler that "eats" all errors and prevents them from being logged

i see, but bot wont disconnect, no?

so idk if those liens are good practice or useless

Nope, will not get disconnected

Usually you'd have a global error handler handling such errors

then i remove

thanks

[slate swan]

IDE says interaction.response has no attribute edit_message

[smoky sinew]

type hint your code :D

[tight coral]

Hey this for anyone, I'm looking for people to help work on my bot, it's a multipurpose security bot and orentinated around fivem. Anyone interested it used discord.py so lmk.

[slate swan]

how can i disable all buttons at once when certain condition is met?

[smoky sinew]

loop over them

and set disabled to True

you can also set the view to None instead which sometimes looks cleaner

[slate swan]

but how? 😮

!d discord.ui.View.children

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.children

property children```
The list of children attached to this view.

[slate swan]

Loop through this list (checking if each item is a button) and set disabled to True

ugg

and what if someone want to disable specific buttons only?

[smoky sinew]

just don't disable that button?

[slate swan]

but how do i know which button is what xD

[smoky sinew]

it's custom_id

[slate swan]

class Counter(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label=str(DENIES), style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def button1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

    @discord.ui.button(label=str(APROVS), style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def button2(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):```

I have them like this now

[slate swan]

Check the dpy server general chat, don't bother helping him

[smoky sinew]

i'm not in the dpy server

[slate swan]

mmm, children is a property, but it is a list according to docs, i still cant loop it (?)

property children
The list of children attached to this view.

Type
List[Item]

?

he is

but i dont see the point of posting that here tbh

[lethal drift]

tf dude

you need help

[slate swan]

he needs

and u too

<@&831776746206265384>

[slate swan]

bro xdddd

look when i created this discord account

xd

[fierce crag]

!mute 1110599386645418105

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @slate swan until <t:1686620865:f> (1 hour).

[fierce crag]

!ban 1110599386645418105 DMing members in this fashion is absolutely not appropriate

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied ban to @void anchor permanently.

[turbid condor]

A question is it possible to fetch the date at which a member is given the role??

If yes then how can i fetch it?

[daring olive]

!unban 1110599386645418105 banned in error

[unkempt canyon]

:ok_hand: pardoned infraction ban for @void anchor.

[sick birch]

Not without tromping through audit logs

Which I would not recommend

I believe certain events do give you which a member's roles are updated, then it would just be the current time

[turbid condor]

Yeah it would make the rate limited

So no way to find out except going through the audit logs which means that's a no

[sick birch]

I mean, you could also listen for a on_member_update event

I believe discord.Role objects are hashable so you can set() both before.roles and after.roles and subtract them

I.e set(after.roles) - set(before.roles) should give you the roles that were added to a user

[turbid condor]

wouldn't that only fetch the roles that have been whereas I am trying to get the date at which the roles were added

[sick birch]

The date and time that it was added is going to be datetime.now()

[turbid condor]

hmm

[verbal shuttle]

When dealing with the date and time what setting allows the time to be in channels?

Example ^

[verbal shuttle]

There's got to be a way

[sick birch]

That's just setting the name of the channel to the current time

It's not a special Discord thing

[verbal shuttle]

Is there a way to change the time automatically when setting it up

[sick birch]

There a function to change the channel's name, yes

!d discord.TextChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.edit

await edit(*, reason=None, **options)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the channel.

You must have [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") to do this.

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 1.4: The `type` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead...

[sick birch]

Can be pretty much any discord.abc.GuildChannel iirc

[verbal shuttle]

Ok another thing I need help with is do you know where I can find a python code that explains how to set up anti-link , anti-raid, antispam etc

I've been searching for 2 days have not been able to locate a recent help.

The one I found has an @client error

[sick birch]

People generally don't publish their code or their guides for these

For instance @inland quail is our security bot and it's closed source, while most of our other bots are all open source

[verbal shuttle]

In a way that does make sense 😉

[sick birch]

Yeah, if people publish their security stuff it's too easy for threat actors to use that against them

So most of the time you either have to opt in to use a prebuilt security solution or try to roll your own

[verbal shuttle]

Roll our own.... Need more lessons on how python works.

Thank you

[verbal shuttle]

How to star ⭐

[vale wing]

There's that star button in repo

[mild lava]

i've been trying to rewrite my discord bot to work in a more stateless way, but im confused on some points. if i create a view and send it to a channel, then the bot restarts, does the bot still correctly call the on_timeout method of my view class, and if so how if the instance no longer exists?

then, if i want to tie an instance of a view to a channel, such that i can retain the channel's id after a restart, what would be the best way of doing that?

[vale wing]

If by "restart" you mean kill the process and run the script again, no, the on_timeout() will not be executed, furthermore, people won't be able to interact with the view at all. However, if it is a persistent view, it will work, but persistent views don't have timeouts

[mild lava]

what about buttons, does the bot stop listening to non-persistent ones after restarting as well?

[vale wing]

It's either persistent view or listening to interaction event depending on usecase

[mild lava]

i'll try to describe my use case in a simplified way, bear with me

[vale wing]

Lemme explain how the system works.

1. You send a normal view with buttons
2. Library adds components and associated callbacks to some data structure, all components have custom IDs

When user presses button

1. Bot receives interaction event
2. If the interacted component is found in structure I mentioned earlier, bot executes associated callback

I hope it's more clear now

When the bot restarts, all runtime data is deleted, including that mapping storing component ids and callbacks

[mild lava]

yep, that makes sense, unfortunately its not ideal for a stateless environment

[vale wing]

I don't really understand concept of state in context of discord views sorry

[mild lava]

stateless in my case means i want to be able to restart the script without the bot losing its place

i.e. any data it needs to function can be retrieved at interaction time from data provided by the discord api, and in my case additionally data fetched from a database based on the previously mentioned data from the discord api

give me a second to write out an explanation of my app, hopefully it will make it more clear what im trying to do

1. users interact with my bot by first running a command (/start).
2. the bot responds with a view that contains some information about a "game" instance that is in its initialization phase, and a button that lets users open a "menu" message.
3. this ephemeral menu message is the second view, where depending on the user's role, it shows buttons to join, leave, start, or stop the game.
4. once a user presses the "start" button, the bot starts sending the third view repeatedly, which contains the actual gameplay. each of these gameplay views is simply a button that gets pressed, then the view is no longer needed, and a new one is sent

perhaps you might have some ideas on how to restructure this or point out flaws

[vale wing]

There are two ways

Persistent view

1. You define view class
2. You use bot.add_view(view)
3. Library adds components
4. You can send view later any time, as components callbacks are registered on startup it will always respond. Just make sure that all components have custom_id set.

Raw interactions

Suitable for things like button roles where you don't have constant view with constant components

1. You send a view without callbacks, just with components, each has custom_id set
2. You create that mapping of custom_id to callback or whatever you want to map it to

When user presses the component

1. You receive interaction event
2. You compare received custom_id with data in your mapping and do action based on it

[vale wing]

At this point I don't think you need things to be persistent

[mild lava]

maybe raw interactions would work, if i would allow me to separate the button logic from my view classes

[vale wing]

If bot restarts it's gonna be down for a while and user will prob leave the game after they receive a couple of "application didn't respond" errors

[mild lava]

the "state" here is basically the state of the game. i've already written some code to persist this state to a file/db/remote location so it can be retrieved after a restart

in my case, the downtime isnt really the problem (my vm or host takes a couple minutes to restart, and if the script crashes for whatever reason thats even faster). the larger problem is i might have multiple bot instances serving requests behind a load balancer, or i might even have the bot running on a serverless platform. in order to make that possible, i first need to solve the problem of allowing the bot process to restart without losing any information

[vale wing]

You may just do restart by reloading extensions

[mild lava]

on a serverless platform (e.g. vercel) i dont have control over how to restart it, it simply shuts down the process after the http request is complete

[glad cradle]

they're called raw components or low level components

and iirc they should only be supported by disnake in the base API

[turbid condor]

How to check a user status? like whether he's online, idle, dnd or invisible??

[naive briar]

!d discord.User

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User

class discord.User```
Represents a Discord user.

x == y Checks if two users are equal.

x != y Checks if two users are not equal.

hash(x) Return the user’s hash.

str(x) Returns the user’s handle (e.g. `name` or `name#discriminator`).

[turbid condor]

that's discord.Member.status

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)") instead.

[turbid condor]

but It always returns offline

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Intents.presences iirc you need this intent

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.presences

Whether guild presence related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events:

• on_presence_update()

This also corresponds to the following attributes and classes in terms of cache...

[turbid condor]

hmm i have all enabled

i'll recheck my code

[naive briar]

!d discord.Intents.presences

🫠

[slate swan]

                        channel = bot.get_channel(channel_to_send_messages)
                        em = discord.Embed(color=0xFFD700)
                        em.add_field(name='Current Not Expired Keys', value=f'<@{user}> key isnt expired' + "\n" + "expire date: " + expire + "\n" + "Key: " + key)
                        await channel.send(embed=em)    ```

the code above keep sending the non expired keys non stop how can i make it send each non expired key only once?

[upbeat otter]

is this codeblock inside a loop?

[slate swan]

no.

[slate swan]

its inside a mongodb

and while true

[upbeat otter]

yes that's the reason

while True is a loop

[slate swan]

how can i make send each one once?

[slate swan]

oh ya mb should i just remove the while true?

[upbeat otter]

well yeah, if you remove it, the lines under it will only be run once

so consider the consequences if any

[slate swan]

so it will give only one of the Not expired keys?

[upbeat otter]

yeah

[slate swan]

do u have any ideas to fix it?

[quasi hill]

hi can someone help me with a bot i just ran and i dont know how to shut it down i was tryna make on on repl it

[upbeat otter]

I do not understand your question clearly, can you please be a little more detailed about it

[upbeat otter]

just click on the stop button on the top

of the replit window

[quasi hill]

i click stop but the bot still online :/

oh wait it takes time

[upbeat otter]

yeah, it'll go offline soon but no commands will work

[slate swan]

so the code is in while true and i need it to be in it so it gives me all of the Not expired ppl but it just repeat them non-stop with a delay of 5 seconds that i putted can u make it send the Not expired but not repeating any of the ones he already sent

[quasi hill]

oh yeah its not instant as like runiing it off a freind server

[upbeat otter]

oh so you can simply use a for loop for that

[slate swan]

can u give me a example? because i never used for loop

[quasi hill]

@upbeat otter ty for clearin tht up i was confused af

[upbeat otter]

expired_keys = get_expired_keys() #This is an iterable of the expired keys
for key in expired_keys:
  await send(key)

# This is the same as below but a lot cleaner

i = 0 
while i < len(expired_keys):
  await send(expired_keys[i])
  i += 1

[slate swan]

kk ty

@upbeat otter are you oneline? could you help me out a bit?

[upbeat otter]

hm?

[slate swan]

so could you tell me how to do it the right way?

or just send some resrouces or so

Hi guys ,which discord python api wrapper is recommended to use these days?

[slate swan]

discord.py is fine

[reef fractal]

@client.tree.command(name = "hello", description="prints hello")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    user_id = interaction.author.id
    user_name = interaction.author.name
    
    data = {"content": f"User{user_name}({user_id}) used the /hello command."}
    
    response = requests.post(webhook_url, json=data)
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello", ephemeral=False) ```

Can anyone please help me with this?

[slate swan]

"this" is very informative on what doesn't work

[reef fractal]

The user_id part, and user_name part

is that right?

[slate swan]

tias

Spoiler: There is no author attribute, see the list

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[naive briar]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[naive briar]

But there is user 😎

[slate swan]

And that's why people should learn to find such things themselves

[unique lichen]

i know i shouldnt be asking here but doing in discord bot

okay so what i am doing is theres a list in a['f']
i want to remove something from a['f]

when i used .remove() it returns null

[reef fractal]

the author attribute ran when using ctx, but it didn't with interaction, anywayss, thank you for telling me

[slate swan]

As you said, wrong channel

[unique lichen]

which channel? pls help its very small stuff so not sure where to put it

[slate swan]

Just like the other questions you've asked --> #1035199133436354600

Or just #python-discussion

[unique lichen]

opening a thread for it seemed too much , general sounds better

[radiant bough]

In on_message_edit event is it possible to know if the message was sent when an application was executed?
If so, how can I get the user who executed the app command

[halcyon magnet]

Guys whats difference between slash command and tree command?

[slate swan]

discord.py doesn't have a slash command decorator, so there can't be a difference between something that exists and something that doesn't - hence the tree command decorator represents a slash command

[halcyon magnet]

But why it's name is tree command

[pearl musk]

if you can make discord bot for me dm (150-200$)

[golden portal]

no one is calling it a tree command, if you meant CommandTree, thats the object that holds all app commands (slash commands) and context menus, its just mapping, and handle proper invocation to those attached commands/menus

[slate swan]

commands.Bot has a tree property, which is the CommandTree object that contains slash commands

[torpid frigate]

how do I give my bot perms to manage messages. it cant delete messages on the main server but works in my private test server

[slate swan]

it's a per-server permission
You need to go into the main server's role settings and enable the permission for your bot's role

[torpid frigate]

ty its worked

[slate swan]

Np

[shrewd apex]

there are other events for that

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_#discord.on_app_command_completion

[turbid condor]

is there a way to check what badges a user has?

[shrewd apex]

nope

[turbid condor]

ok thx

[glad cradle]

you mean the badges like developer, nitro user, staff member etc...?

[turbid condor]

yes

[glad cradle]

!d discord.User.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.public\_flags

property public_flags```
The publicly available flags the user has.

[turbid condor]

now i see why i missed those

i was searching for badge

[dry kelp]

So i am having issues with my handlers for antinuke.

sends missing permissions error because is trying to ban himself (the bot)

the user was whitelisted so it wasn't supposed to be kicked

[twilit grotto]

del a['f'] i believe would work

[potent spear]

handle_whitelisted does nothing tho...

these handle functions all return None...

you probably want them to return either True or False?

[smoky sinew]

yeah i was helping them in another server

[foggy bone]

hello, I want to build a discord bot in python that would allow me to display my League of Legends stats in a dedicated channel. I'm an extreme beginner in python and here's my code, no particular error message but nothing happens in the discord and on the terminal. Does anyone have a solution? Is it in the API? if someone says, you can dm me pls! thx team!!!

[potent spear]

Your intents are the issue

You’re missing message_content intents. They’re not the same as .messages Intents

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

Connecté en tant que bot
Une erreur s'est produite : 'win_ratio'

[slate swan]

the first 2 lines mean the bot is online

[foggy bone]

and the begining is now like this :

[slate swan]

the others idk, cant read frrench

[foggy bone]

in french is like "the bot is online"

i don't understand the "win_ratio"

[slate swan]

thats something from u, i believe

[foggy bone]

une erreur s'est produite is like "there is an error: "win_ratio"

[slate swan]

Then go to win_ratio and check what's wrong there

it's not defined ( or the key doesnt exist , idk french)

Instead of having such abstract logging you could log the error itself

one thing. If on a view im adding buttons, can i have the stored somewhere so from 1 button i can change others?

[slate swan]

if you're subclassing view you can simply use self.other_button_callback to access the other button, no need to store it anywhere else

what? if my button is async def button_no(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button): I can call it like self.button_no ????

right, self being the same View class instance

If it's in a view, yes

and then .label or .disable?? 😮

Yep, that's how OOP works

oh well, for me OOP is more like class Whatever: ... ; something = Whatever()

It is as well

i guess button_no is the constructor of such button? but like static object?

[foggy bone]

"win_ratio" just on this page, there is a probleme??? or was a probleme with the keys?

[slate swan]

cuz everytime i call self.button_no i am refering to the same button, no? XD

[slate swan]

button_no get's converted into a discord.ui.Button object when the discord.ui.button decorator is used on it

yeah but, what i mean is on normal OOP
x = Number(2)
y = Number(2)
x and y are totally different objects

[slate swan]

Print the entire error or remove the try/except that hides everything useful, that'd be a good start

[slate swan]

Classes can contain things

In that entire class you can access those entire things

That's OOP

yeah, and by doing x.label = 'hello' wont change y.label

but seems here, with buttons, doing self.button_no is always the same object (?)

🤨 so you're trying to edit one view's button by another?

[slate swan]

yeah

like, i am testing with a counter. When ever it reaches 0, i wanna disable the other button

[foggy bone]

just remove the try?

[slate swan]

i could disable all children, but wanted to disable specific button

[foggy bone]

and ecept?

[slate swan]

u can copy paste this testing code

class Counter(discord.ui.View):

    def disable_button(self, custom_id):
        for child in self.children:
            if isinstance(child, discord.ui.Button) and child.custom_id == custom_id:
                child.disabled = True

    # Define the actual button
    # When pressed, this increments the number displayed until it hits 5.
    # When it hits 0, the counter button is disabled, and it turns green.
    # note: The name of the function does not matter to the library
    @discord.ui.button(label=str(DENIES), style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger, custom_id='no')
    async def button_no(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        c = int(button.label) or DENIES
        if c - 1 <= 0:
            button.label = 'NO'
            button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.red
            button.disabled = True
            self.disable_button('yes')
        else:
            button.label = str(c - 1)

        # Make sure to update the message with our updated selves
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label=str(APROVS), style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id='yes')
    async def button_yes(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        c = int(button.label) or APROVS
        if c - 1 <= 0:
            button.label = 'YES'
            button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.green
            button.disabled = True
            self.disable_button('no')
        else:
            button.label = str(c - 1)

        # Make sure to update the message with our updated selves
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[slate swan]

all those buttons are in same message or not

yeah

they are, what's the issue then?

on the same View

well, i am not saying there is a problem XD just wanted to understand whats going on. When i call self.button_no i am refering to the object button_no, but i have never created such object

self there represents a View class, that store's the buttons as attributes button_no and button_yes

[slate swan]

async def button_no(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
``` you declared it as a coroutine, the decorator converted it into a button

yeah, but i havent done anywhere x = button_no()

That's for what decorators are made for

Oh

decos create an object with the function u define as constructor?

srry never used decos before 😦

No, decorators execute the function that is defined in that decorator

aaa

[slate swan]

!e ```py
def converter(f):
def inner(): return 1
return inner()

@converter
def foo(): print("hello")

print(foo) # foo was defined as a function but is now an int

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

1

[slate swan]

mmm not sure whats going on. foo is getting overwritten

Not the best example

Though that goes off-topic for the channel, there are some better channels if you need some better explanation of decorators - or your favorite search engine

ok ok, srry

so, a few days ago i asked chat gpt and he wrote me this

async def ui(ctx):
    button1 = discord.ui.Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, label='Button 1')
    button2 = discord.ui.Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, label='Button 2')

    view = discord.ui.View()
    view.add_item(button1)
    view.add_item(button2)

i know probably u dislike AI tools, but still, this is why i asked about "storing" buttons somewhere

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

10. Do not copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI tools.

[slate swan]

well, i know, but still, lets say i wanna disable 10 buttons only, what will be the best way? 10 lines calling self.button_x.disabled = True?

[slate swan]

As you mentioned above, loop over all children

yeah srry, let say i have 20 buttons. How do i filter them?

Custom IDs

and do i have to loop over all of them to see which ones match the id or can i directly choose it?

If you know which one precisely (the function that holds the button), you can use just edit whatever you want on it

Otherwise for the custom ID yes, loop and condition

well ok, i think im not explaining myself or there is no way to do it the way i want. Imma try my best. So, when u create 10 objects, each of them is assigned to a variable. Then u can refer to certain object by its variable. Here, if i had a,b,c,d,e,f buttons, i could, inside the method for button e, call a.label="hi" and b.label = "bye". using a and b as variables, instead of self.imagine_my_button_has_a_big_name.label="hi" and self.imagine_my_button_has_a_big_name.style = discord.ButtonStyle.red. For example

[solid crater]

How can I make a command for add roles? For example: /addrole

[slate swan]

pretty sure u can

[sick birch]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[solid crater]

and how it's wrong in this code?

        name="addrole",
        description="Agregar un rol a un usuario.",

                color=0xE02B2B,
            )
            await context.send(embed=embed)



async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Moderation(bot))

because it don't works

[fading marlin]

it should be a discord.Role object, not a string or None

[solid crater]

can you copy my code and fix the problem please? Because I'm not very good at programation and I don't see the problem

[rapid snow]

We generally don't do that. We want you to learn from the experience.

[slate swan]

why are u making a bot then?

[solid crater]

because I want to learn

[slate swan]

there are better ways to learn python tho

[solid crater]

but I want learn discord moderation, and the bots it's the thing that I want to learn the first

[slate swan]

well, u gotta go step by step. First learn programming in general, then specific language (python), and then move into python discord bots

[solid crater]

can you say me any way to learn python?

[slate swan]

u cant run before walking

well, u can go #python-discussion and ask for resources there, pretty sure ppl know good web pages

[solid crater]

okay

[solid crater]

But my bot is pretty good...

[slate swan]

if it was, it would work

[potent spear]

who wrote this?

[solid crater]

me

[potent spear]

the fact that you're using c in your function parameters and then use context as variable can't be right

if you understand what that means...

[solid crater]

it works, the only thing that doesn't work is that command

[slate swan]

? it does not work. u literally said

[solid crater]

not works that command

[slate swan]

then it doesnt work

🤷‍♀️

[solid crater]

but the bot have a lot of commands that yes works

I said my BOT is pretty good, not the command

[slate swan]

yeah so u have a top tier car with awesome chasis without 1 wheel. Still pretty good car, right?

[solid crater]

bruh

The bot have all this commands

the only command that not work is the /addrole

[slate swan]

okey man, ur bot is pretty good 👍

[solid crater]

Yes.

[solid crater]

This is better?

[potent spear]

parameter name of context is still c...

in the docs, they use ctx
it's up to you
so use that in as parameter name
as well as ctx.send(...)
instead of context...

[slate swan]

i think he doesnt know what is he doing, tbh

[potent spear]

no offense, but not sure how you could make these mistakes if you already have multiple commands and cogs

[solid crater]

Leave me alone? I have said that I do not have programming studies, I have learned based on tutorials and people with experience.

[slate swan]

so u made 20+ commands without knowing programming? damn im jelous. I wish i could

[solid crater]

yes

because people help me

[smoky sinew]

all copied and pasted using someone else's code i'm guessing

[solid crater]

to do that

if it were copied and pasted, I would not have the problem when doing this command

[slate swan]

?

u literally asked someone to copy ur code, fix it, and paste again

[solid crater]

yes

He is saying that all the commands are copied and pasted

but if it were copied and pasted, I would not have the problem when doing this command

Well, since you don't help me I'm not going to argue anymore, I'd rather learn than argue with such an incompensable community

[slate swan]

we help, we dont spoonfeed

[solid crater]

you are not helping me

the only person that helps me is @potent spear

[slate swan]

i am not writting ur code for u

[solid crater]

okay

I understand that

since you don't want to do it, you don't have to start to hesitate

[thin raft]

man, this is a support server

you can ask if you get any errors, learn something you dont udnerstand etc

not for people writing you code

[solid crater]

@slate swan because from the first message you sent me everything has been critical. Have you ever wanted to learn, just like me

[solid crater]

Okay

[slate swan]

someone already posted u this. U havent take a look at it at all

[smoky sinew]

you're not wanting to learn though you're wanting someone to do it for you

[solid crater]

I understand, sorry fot that

[slate swan]

read this first

[solid crater]

sorry, now I'm saying I need help and someone that explains me like I was a baby

[solid crater]

yes, I looked, but I don't understanded very well

That's why I wanted someone help me

[slate swan]

i still wonder how u managed to add some many commands without understanding very well the documentation

[solid crater]

.

[slate swan]

pretty sure there are tutorials about adding/removing discord roles

[solid crater]

my code was like this but a man told me it was wrong and he corrected it for me the way i have sent before

[slate swan]

Lets say my bot sends a message when calling a command. This message uses variables like name or index. How could I edit the message text and still have access to those variables inside a View class (when pressing a button)? For example, bot ask if name is equal to index idx, and u have 2 buttons, yes and no. If u press yes, text is changed to f"This {index} is {name}". Inside the ui.View i dont have the variables name and index

[smoky sinew]

have you fixed it or?

[solid crater]

no

but np

[slate swan]

'Perfect Choice, Please send the amount to this CashApp ', {cashapp}
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'set' and 'str'

ffix?

[smoky sinew]

no, code

[slate swan]

well, unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'set' and 'str'

seems u are trying to sum a set and a string

[slate swan]

elif message.content.lower() == 'cash app':
await message.channel.send(
'Perfect Choice, Please send the amount to this CashApp ', {cashapp}
+ (message.author.mention))

[upbeat gust]

why do you have {cashapp}

[smoky sinew]

use + instead

[upbeat gust]

and the () around message.author.mention

[slate swan]

its a variable defined above

[slate swan]

Didn't work

[upbeat gust]

I know, why do you have {}?

[smoky sinew]

new code

[slate swan]

await coro(*args, **kwargs)
File "/home/container/soul.py", line 144, in on_message
'Perfect Choice, Please send the amount to this CashApp ' + {cashapp}
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "set") to str

elif message.content.lower() == 'cash app':
    await message.channel.send(
        'Perfect Choice, Please send the amount to this CashApp ' + {cashapp}
        + (message.author.mention))

[smoky sinew]

remove the {}

[slate swan]

It worked thanks 🙂

[slate swan]

does anyone specialize in discord.py and can explain why my code isnt working? i swear its right😭

[sick birch]

You should post your code along with relevant traceback and why you think it's not working

there is no traceback but ill send code

[sick birch]

And what's the problem

[slate swan]

when i run it it doesnt run the bot it just stops

Because you aren't calling the main function anywhere

oh

skull long day

now i got it working but it wont find my cogs sigh

[smoky sinew]

why even load extensions automatically

is it not worth it to type in the extra line

[slate swan]

mann idek i js want it to be good but it wont find my cogs now

[mild lava]

in discord.py, view timeouts are facilitated by the library itself, right?

[golden portal]

yes

just spawns a task and do a sleep at an interval until ends

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Mod(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Mod.py is ready.")
    
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def purge(self, ctx, amnt: int):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amnt)
        await ctx.send("purge successful gang")

    

async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(Mod(client))``` this is my cog for moderation commands as of right now, when i load the bot it now runs fine, but when i run commands, it gives me an error stating the command name isnt defined.

how to make bot online forever

[twilit grotto]

host it on a vps

[sonic vapor]

how

[slate swan]

Purchase a VPS
Run your bot there

[vale wing]

Yeah first you need to get the VPS. The reputable services are listed here: https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/vps-services/

As for free options, you can use amazon AWS free tier, microsoft azure (both last for 1 year) or digitalocean (200$ for 2 months).

I recommend getting a machine with ubuntu OS, then following this guide to setup hosting there https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

[polar coyote]

Type a print statement after initialising the method for debugging

[orchid lagoon]

it doesn't send anything when i type !Ping

[vocal snow]

you need to enable message content intents

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[polar coyote]

Why not discord.Intents.all()?

[slate swan]

Because it sucks ass if you don't really need all intents, which is 99% of the time the case for bots

[polar coyote]

yhh

[slate swan]

does anyone have any good tips or pointers for a anti nuke in discord.py

[vale wing]

Nuke is what

Destroying server?

You could like put limit of channels creation per minute or smth

I can't really think of anything more effective

There are millions of ways to destroy server

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-verne-over-the-hedge-turtle-disbelief-gif-24744867

[vale wing]

1. Create infinite channels named "balls"
2. Delete all channels
3. Remove all roles
4. Create infinite roles named "balls" with admin perms and give them to everyone
5. Invite spam bots that would send "balls" message every second in every channel

Only 5 but trust me there are 999995 more definitely

[vocal plover]

the most effective anti-nuke is a well set up server, there's only so much bots can do, and generally speaking anti-nuke bots end up getting in the way of legitimate moderation actions during events like raids

[glacial tide]

I just need how to know how to call the embed being created using the sell command

[slate swan]

See https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py again

Especially https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py#L53-L59

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/confirm.py lines 53 to 59

await view.wait()
if view.value is None:
    print('Timed out...')
elif view.value:
    print('Confirmed...')
else:
    print('Cancelled...')```

[slate swan]

Or just https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py#L36-L38

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/confirm.py lines 36 to 38

@discord.ui.button(label='Cancel', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
async def cancel(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    await interaction.response.send_message('Cancelling', ephemeral=True)```

[glacial tide]

@slate swan did u read my code?

i used that rapptz resource

[slate swan]

I did, hence my response

[glacial tide]

m just askin what should i type where these ????? are situated

[slate swan]

Something similar to that

Or that

[slate swan]

Do you need to send a new view? No. So remove it

Have you defined the embed object? No. So define it

[glacial tide]

can u vc pls?

[slate swan]

No.

To remove a view, delete view=view it shoudln't be too hard, right?

[glacial tide]

thats good

its about the embed

[slate swan]

To define an embed it is

embed = discord.Embed(description="whatever")

Just like you did below, shouldn't be too hard as well...

[glacial tide]

I basically want to return the embed generated below ^^

not to create a new one

[slate swan]

Then define an attribute in your class and pass that embed to the view class when when creating it in code e.g. view = Sell(embed) and then you can use that embed in the button callback with self.whatever and whatever being the attribute you've created

[glacial tide]

sounds good now right?

[slate swan]

No it doesn't, you haven't defined/created the attribute

[glacial tide]

boom lol

[slate swan]

Good you can read

OOP is a thing you must know when using libraries like discord.py https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_classes.asp

Look at the __init__ function

Oops

[slate swan]

yes i added an anti nuke cog and now my bot brokeded >:(

[smoky sinew]

!paste code and error

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[vale wing]

It was nuke cog

[young pendant]

Hey, may I ask you a question?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/apumekazir
I have this command in my script
Its a slash command

I would like to make my commands so @everyone can't see the slash command anymore.
Is that possible?

[smoky sinew]

you should use app_commands.checks.has_permissions instead

[young pendant]

will that disable @everyone from getting the popup when typing in / ?

[young pendant]

That works for using the command.

But I want to disable @everyone from seeing the command

[smoky sinew]

hmmm i think the check is done locally

don't you have to disable the command in the server

[slate swan]

Lets say my bot sends a message when calling a command. This message uses variables like name or index. How could I edit the message text and still have access to those variables inside a View class (when pressing a button)? For example, bot ask if name is equal to index idx, and u have 2 buttons, yes and no. If u press yes, text is changed to f"This {index} is {name}". Inside the ui.View i dont have the variables name and index

[young pendant]

I think so, I just wanted to know if there is a chance to predifine the permissions before syncing the commands with the guild

[glad cradle]

yeah there's a way

what library are you using?

[young pendant]

from discord import app_commands

[glad cradle]

you need to use discord.app_commands.default_permissions

!d discord.app_commands.default_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.default\_permissions

@discord.app_commands.default_permissions(**perms)```
A decorator that sets the default permissions needed to execute this command.

When this decorator is used, by default users must have these permissions to execute the command. However, an administrator can change the permissions needed to execute this command using the official client. Therefore, this only serves as a hint.

Setting an empty permissions field, including via calling this with no arguments, will disallow anyone except server administrators from using the command in a guild.

This is sent to Discord server side, and is not a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check "discord.app_commands.check"). Therefore, error handlers are not called.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

[young pendant]

thank you so much, will test it when I'm done coding the new feature

[wraith wing]

await ctx.send("Saniye sayılıyor...", view=View(button2))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: View.init() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: View.init() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[pulsar burrow]

anybody know what this error means

[turbid condor]

A question I am using mysql so should I make a new connection to the host every time a command is used or just a make a new cursor for the command and close the cursor when the command has been completed?

[slate swan]

Are you on MacOS?

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/fix-ssl-certificate/#how-to-fix-ssl-certificate-issue-on-mac

[slate swan]

You create view instance and then add items to it using .add_item

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

Example of view can be found here

In this example they create the items in the View subclass which is more readable

[slate swan]

does this repo have any example of how to edit a message embed from the ui.View when pressing buttons? if such message has variables being used and i wanna still have access to them

[slate swan]

go check yourself under examples folder

idk what to look for xd

[slate swan]

i belive they dont have any examples with embeds

i saw... 😦

and do u know by chance how could i do this?

save the message in a view then on button click edit it

you need to subclass view for it

yes, but if the message has variables and the message is like f'variable1: {var1} - variable2: {var2}', how can i use var1 and 2 on the View subclass?

[slate swan]

send the varriables to view as well

how do i do that?

class MyCustomView(ui.View):
    def __init__(self, var1, var2):
        self.var1 = var1
        self.var2 = var2

    ...


...
var1 = 1
var2 = 2
view = MyCustomView(var1, var2)
.send(f"{var1} {var2}", view=view)

oh

on the constructor?

yes

oooh nice, thanks 😄

keep in mind that when you override the __init__ method you need to call super().__init__()

oh true

[slate swan]

One last thing. If i am editing the embed... Should i actually edit it or send a new embed object with same structure?

[slate swan]

ill do that right quick

[slate swan]

edit

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zuqajibado

i dont see any open await commands like its saying,

And could u tell me why? Like, is it easier for the bot to edit than send a new one? And if i wanna edit it... I guess it is under interaction.response, but how do i get what do i wanna edit?

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.moderation' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression←[0m

[slate swan]

no you need to send message to view as well

[twilit grotto]

do u know what line

[slate swan]

it does it for every command ive tried to run,

[slate swan]

but does it say what line does it happen

[slate swan]

not that im aware ill run it again and send a commands

[slate swan]

mmm ive seen there is a param called "content" inside await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

[slate swan]

hm i dont think .edit_message will work

do it like this

view = ...

view.message = await .send(...)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=interaction#discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

then you have .message varriable in your view

[slate swan]

show the setup function for the moderation cog

[slate swan]

its in my hastebin link

Well, i dont know exactly what is the best way to edit. There is .edit, .edit_message and .edit_original_response

[slate swan]

try .edit_original_response it might work without sending message to view

[slate swan]

it has to be async

client.add_cog must be awaited as well

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_cog

await add_cog(cog, /, *, override=False, guild=..., guilds=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Adds a “cog” to the bot.

A cog is a class that has its own event listeners and commands.

If the cog is a [`app_commands.Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group "discord.app_commands.Group") then it is added to the bot’s [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") as well.

Note

Exceptions raised inside a [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog "discord.ext.commands.Cog")’s [`cog_load()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load "discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load") method will be propagated to the caller...

[slate swan]

so instead of just def it would be async def for my setup? and then await the slient.add_cog(coghere(client))

[slate swan]

yes

This is a lower level interface to InteractionMessage.edit() in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.```

okay im gonna go fix right noe

what does "you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request" mean?

[slate swan]

like i said it should edit original message without needing to store it

Okey so, this is what i have now

class Counter(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, name=None, idx=None):
        super().__init__()

    # When pressed, this decrements the number displayed until it hits 0.
    # When it hits 0, the counter button is disabled, and it turns green.
    # note: The name of the function does not matter to the library
    @discord.ui.button(label=str(DENIES), style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def button_no(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        c = int(button.label) or DENIES
        if c - 1 <= 0:
            button.label = 'NO'
            button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.red
            button.disabled = True
            self.remove_item(self.button_yes)
        else:
            button.label = str(c - 1)

        # Make sure to update the message with our updated selves
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```
The last line is that updates the view, i believe. Since i only change the label of the button "no". But i believe the message itself is on interaction.response, no?

i dont have any self.message

tbh, im a bit lost between Interaction.message and .response

[slate swan]

what is a better practice:

@client.command()
async def s(ctx):
    embed1 = discord.Embed(title="Embed 1", description="This is the first embed.")
    embed2 = discord.Embed(title="Embed 2", description="This is the second embed.")
    embed3 = discord.Embed(title="Embed 3", description="This is the third embed.")

    embeds = [embed1, embed2, embed3]

    await ctx.send(embeds=embeds)
    await ctx.send('-----------------')
    await ctx.send(embed=embed1)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed2)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed3)```

sending multiple embeds on the same message, or different msgs?

Multiple in one, you won't unnecessarily hit rate limits faster by making multiple API requests

[slate swan]

all at once

may i ask why?

cause each ctx.send is an api call

so you either call api once or 3 times

ah

i see, thanks 😄

thats why i have to interaction.message.embeds[0]

[sick coyote]

yo can someone help me, for some reason my bot goes offline, i looked in the logs nothing. its the second time now

[young pendant]

Hey, can I ask you a question?

So, i have a python script here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/atanenisub

at line 126 I have a context menu named "report_message"

The bot sends a message in a predifined channel

I want the bot to include 2 buttons and a dropdown menu below the embed

Buttons: Go to message (link of reported message) / claim

Dropdown: Options: ban, tempban, mute, tempmute, warn, verbal warn, nothing

When the button "CLAIM" has been clicked, it should change color from blue to green and say "claimed by (user)"

When I chose an action from the dropdown (only one should be chosen), it should say what action has been chosen

[twilit grotto]

```is there any reason this cog (using nextcord) doesnt actually check if the user has permissions upon running ban or kick? im kinda confused. lmao

[potent spear]

please also handle other errors in your command_error handler with else
else you'd be hiding them

[twilit grotto]

yeah i plan on it, just didn't in that cuz i was trying to fix the problem at hand, the event its self for command error isn't even being ran

which is confusing me completely.

I don't use nextcord, so I can't really help with those slash commands there

[keen swan]

Hey hey, I have a (hopefully not too complicated) question
I'm trying to create a button that opens a website when it gets pressed while subclassing discord.ui.View and i'm not sure where to specify the URL that is supposed to open

@discord.ui.button(label="Find websites", emoji="🔍",style=discord.ButtonStyle.link)
async def find_websites_callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
  print("hi")

[upbeat gust]

you can't create a url button with the decorator

in the view init

b = ui.Button(..., url = "xyz")
self.add_item(b)```

why when editing an embed message with an image attached the image goes outside the embed but stays inside too? the image is dupped

just wanted to tell you haha

whoops

got confused

thought this was a different server, i was using ctrl + k

[snow coral]

so i have my bot read a txt file and send it, but would it be able to print a certain part? like for example:

this is what sends it

[twilit grotto]

you'd split the line at a certain decorator, for example =

[snow coral]

how would i make sure it splits when it sends

and doesnt just send the whole thing

[twilit grotto]

split the data, and extract the data you need to send

[naive briar]

To be honest, just use JSON at this point

[twilit grotto]

^^

[snow coral]

okay

[twilit grotto]

yeah JSON in that case would be so much better & so much easier lmao

[lone robin]

Quick question,

Do any of y'all use Rasberry pi for bot hosting ?
& Can it run intricate and complex bots with no issue ? "8gb ver"

[slate swan]

does anyone have an idea of how to create a keep alive.py file so i can keep my bot running using uptimereboot

[frail kettle]

I havent created discord bots in a year I imagine many things have changed especially with discord switching over to slash commands is there anywhere I can learn it again. I dont really want to read through the docs so if anyone has any other methods please share them

[slate swan]

thank you cheers!!

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message, self, msg):

Blacklist= ["discord.gg", ".com"]
for black in Blacklist:
        if black.lower() in msg.content.lower():
            await msg.delete()
            await msg.channel.send(f"WATCH YOUR TONE")

Why doesn't my code work

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    message = f"Wasg {member.mention} Thanks for joining the community gang"
    print(message)
    
  
    embed = discord.Embed(title="New Member Joined",
    description=message, color=discord.Color.random())
    
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
    
    embed.add_field(name="Join Date",       
    value=member.joined_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), inline=False)
    
  
    channel = client.get_channel(channel.id)
    
    await channel.send(embed=embed)``` 

```AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url'```

[tired notch]

it got changed i think its member.avatar.url now

[slate swan]

ohh ok thank you

[tired notch]

the one i use is display_avatar

[tired notch]

i think on_message only accepts one parameter

[slate swan]

It alr. I made it work anyways, I’m wondering on how to make it so it will delete any variation so like if I had scam in there it would delete scammer, scamming, scams etc

[tired notch]

should already be doing that

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command.

[vale wing]

Mm how would you detect scam?

I doubt if "free robux" in msg.content.lower() would work 🧐

[naive briar]

Ask someone if they're a scammer

[shrewd apex]

just maybe try training some 15 billion parameter model or smn 👀

[vale wing]

Hello, in order to send a message, please verify you are not a scammer using /verify command!

[shrewd apex]

reverse psychology

[vale wing]

No I don't have nvidia a100

[shrewd apex]

oof

[lone robin]

Nobody ?

[slate swan]

Question, so I have a curse word blocker, when the word gets deleted I want it to send to a channel saying “Bad word detected and what word it is” how can I code that

[twilit grotto]

just get the channel using client.get_channel, save it assigned to a variable, and later use the .send method on the variable with the data

[twilit grotto]

get_channel takes a channel id as a argument*

[north kiln]

why not just use automod

[cyan quarry]

Does anyone know if there is a code that makes it plausibel for clikable phone Numbers on discord

[vale wing]

🧐

[fallen meadow]

Its like the same when you look up a company on Google and it shows a number you can click and it will Ask if you wanna call it

[soft fjord]

Can anyone help me with this ?
I want to make command which will help bot owner to invoke command behalf of other users
Here is the code I tried but does not work as i expected --

    @commands.command(name="dbg")
    @commands.is_owner()
    async def debug_command(self, ctx, user: Optional[commands.MemberConverter], command: str = ""):
        if not command:
            await ctx.send(":exclamation: Please provide a command to execute.")
            return

        if user is None:
            user = ctx.author

        invoked_command = self.bot.get_command(command)
        if invoked_command is None:
            await ctx.send(f":exclamation: Invalid command: {command}")
            return

        ctx.message.author = user
        await self.bot.invoke(ctx)

[turbid condor]

solved

[soft fjord]

Yaa

[slate swan]

.

I got banned from the other serv cause they thought I was raiding jt

So here I am

[slate swan]

did you react to your own message

https://tenor.com/view/rotating-skull-gif-24524852

Yup

[cyan quarry]

lol

[slate swan]

wanted to send you a link to js servers

but my message got removed ☠️

[cyan quarry]

ik , i can see that msg

[slate swan]

oh

okay

[slate swan]

better discord 🧐 ?

[cyan quarry]

no

i'm on macbook with OG discord app 💀

[slate swan]

i have macbook as well and i still cant see deleted messages

[cyan quarry]

coz youre not using vencord 💀

[slate swan]

mhm so it is modded discord client

[cyan quarry]

ig , coz it just patched OG app

[shrewd apex]

what does not work as expected?

[slate swan]

its solved already

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

Bot.py user 🤬

[shrewd apex]

what do u use?

main.py/app.py ?

[slate swan]

main.py like a civil and respectable man

main.txt

Bot.py users are heathens who need to be burned

[shrewd apex]

hmm my subclassed bot is in bot.py but i import and run it in __main__.py

[slate swan]

eval(open("main.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8"))

[slate swan]

Seems like a scam

Would suggest being careful

[slate swan]

huh

[shrewd apex]

there is a bunch of directory levels so

seemed appropriate

[shrewd apex]

ast.literal_eval

[slate swan]

ok but that will be 2 lines

[shrewd apex]

need nitro 🥹

[shrewd apex]

words

[slate swan]

you are not blue anymore

[shrewd apex]

yessir

i am plain white

[slate swan]

that means you are casual now

[languid jungle]

@slate swan I don't think JS Hub is a javascript discord

nvm, it is

the /js vanity used to be owned by a discord server unrelated to javascript

[slate swan]

i have it under my programming discords folder so it has to be about js

[languid jungle]

nvm my nvm

it's not related to javascript

we've that discord server blacklisted for this very reason

[slate swan]

well then it explains why i added it to dev servers

[languid jungle]

haha

[slate swan]

sorry for that then

[cosmic karma]

You need to change permissions to append, which is a.

E.g.

with open("file.txt", "a") as f:
    f.write(f"{data}\n")

[rugged shadow]

me, who uses __main__.py and python -m bot to run my bot:
😳

[glad cradle]

iirc python CLI can run code from txt files

btw __main__.py is better than main.py if your project is structured like a package

[slate swan]

i am using __main__.py

[slate swan]

same

[cyan quarry]

tbh .js version is easier

ngl 💀

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

Try java

Without IDE*

[cyan quarry]

lol

no

[pliant gulch]

main.py? Nah poetry run bot

[slate swan]

no poetry run python -m bot

[pliant gulch]

No

You can setup scripts in poetry with an entry point

[slate swan]

i know you can

[pliant gulch]

Oh that's what you meant

[vocal plover]

my preferred way of running bots now is to not run bots

[pliant gulch]

exactly

bot dev in 2023?

crazy

[slate swan]

ENTRYPOINT ["poetry", "run"]
CMD ["python", "-m", "bot"]

[pliant gulch]

docker!?

[slate swan]

obviously

[vocal plover]

docker my beloved

[pliant gulch]

I have never had to use docker for any of my bots pepesweat

[slate swan]

for me its just easier to set up everything in docker compose

also its easier when moving to VPS

[pliant gulch]

ic, usually I just do everything in poetry, move it over from git and just poetry install

[vocal plover]

I use docker for bots mostly because when you've written like 1 python dockerfile it suddenly becomes unbelievably easy to deploy 99% of bots

[pliant gulch]

I usually have a schema.sql too so setting up the database is no problem

[slate swan]

true

i just copy paste the dockerfiles

imagine deploying bots

[lost dove]

how can i use jishaku??

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Gorialis/jishaku/blob/master/README.md

[lost dove]

all i have to do is ```bot.load_extension('jishaku')

or

await bot.load_extension('jishaku')```?

[slate swan]

if you installed it already then yes

[lost dove]

i did

[slate swan]

you need to use the one using async/await syntax

[lost dove]

if i do without await it wont work?

[slate swan]

i belive it will throw exception

[lost dove]

lemme try

works

ty

[slate swan]

can u forbide all users except the one who used a command to interact with a view?

Yes

how? is there a fancy way or u just check who reacted?

[thin raft]

just check the user id of who you want to use it

[slate swan]

so for the rest of users buttons will be enabled?

[thin raft]

you can't disable buttons for a single users

you would need to check who interacted and do something if x or y

[slate swan]

okey

[thin raft]

if interaction.user.id == 34567890:
do stuff
else:
send error

or better way

if interaction.user.id != 17629816201:
error
return
do stuff

[austere prairie]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/exts/info/subscribe.py#L63-L92
this is how @unkempt canyon does it for the !subscribe command

[slate swan]

id should be the same as user used the command

so i guess it would be interaction.message.client?

[thin raft]

check this

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[austere prairie]

This is the essential part:

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, owner):
        ...
        self.interaction_owner = owner

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction):
        if interaction.user != self.interaction_owner:
            # You can do something else here, this shows an ephemeral message to the user
            await interaction.response.send_message(
                "This is someone else's button",
                ephemeral=True,
            )
            return False
        return True

@slate swan

[slate swan]

and where do i pass owner?

[austere prairie]

when you instantiate the view

[slate swan]

when creating the view

yeah i mean, what should owner be?

[austere prairie]

the person who can click the button

[slate swan]

ctx.send(..., view=View(what))

the user/member object

[austere prairie]

probably ctx.author or similar

[slate swan]

ah okey, ty

[slate swan]

one thing i dont understand what i did

client = cmds.Bot(command_prefix=BOT_PREFIX, help_command=None,
                  activity=Game(name=f'{BOT_PREFIX}help'), intents=intents)

client.channels_ids = {}```

By doing this, im giving the bot an attribute called channels_ids which is a dictionary?

can i actually do that???

[vocal snow]

yes

it's an unslotted class

[slate swan]

what does unslotted mean?

[vocal snow]

it doesn't use _slots_, which is a sequence of strings that defines what attributes an object of that class can have

[slate swan]

that you can add your own attributes from the outside

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Bot variables

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[slate swan]

oooh

i see. Thats cool

[slate swan]

any idea how to make a server info command for a bot in discord.py? been stumped for hours...

[turbid condor]

What type of info u want it to display??

[slate swan]

server name, owner, members, bots, create date

!d discord.Guild Take a look at the list of attributes here

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI.

x == y Checks if two guilds are equal.

x != y Checks if two guilds are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the guild’s hash.

str(x) Returns the guild’s name.

ty

[slate swan]

editing a msg vs deleting and sending new are the same amout of api calls?

[turbid condor]

Aren't they 3 different processes?

[vocal snow]

editing is 1, deleting+sending is 2

because each has it's own endpoint

[pulsar burrow]

using centos7 vm

[slate swan]

can i make a bot with discord.py that gives a role and then removes it 10 minutes later?

[glad cradle]

yes

[slate swan]

i linked you the tutorial to this error above

[shrewd vapor]

Hi, i search for remove timeout with command unmute you can help me please ?

[sick birch]

You pass in None into the timeout function

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

await timeout(until, /, *, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.11)").

You must have [`moderate_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.moderate_members "discord.Permissions.moderate_members") to do this.

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

[shrewd vapor]

In duration ?

[sick birch]

Yes

[slate swan]

yo
does anyone know how i can code a vouch command (discord bot) im not rly sure how to start/what to do

[slate swan]

Step 1: Choose what library you wanna use either discord.py/nextcord/pycord/disnake
Step 2: Read all their docs
Step 3: Try to understand their docs
Step 4: Practice the code you read in the docs
Step 5: WE BALLIN!!!! Make the vouch command

also You can't ask such a vague question and expect code cause literally you didn't specify alot of stuff

👍

you need to do that on instance

As you can see, no duration only until

not the class

[shrewd vapor]

Until don't work

I don't understand for remove timeout

You already got told above what's the issue

[tidal dock]

hello

[shrewd vapor]

Sry but i can't do it

[fathom tundra]

eyo whats the best langauge for

discord

bots*

[glad cradle]

assembly

[sick birch]

There is none

Personal preference

[fathom tundra]

hm whats the easyiest

i can python and c# an java

whats the best

[glad cradle]

!

[fathom tundra]

not best what do you recommend

hm#

[slate swan]

The one you know the most

You choose, we don't

[fathom tundra]

okay

https://tenor.com/view/whatsappanicolas-gif-25654099

[slate swan]

got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'until'

[slate swan]

And how is that shitpost related to the channel?

[fathom tundra]

oh my bad should i delete it?

[shrewd vapor]

Until is not only arguments passed

@bot.tree.command(name="unmute", description="Unmute a member")
@commands.guild_only()
async def unmute(interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.defer()
    if not interaction.user.guild_permissions.kick_members:
        await interaction.followup.send(f"You are not authorized to use this command {interaction.user.mention}")
        return
    await member.timeout(until = None, reason = None)
    await interaction.followup.send(f'{member.mention} has been unmuted')```

[slate swan]

how does that matter

Good thing people know the difference between kwarg and positional args

it tells you that until is positional only and you passed it as keyword

[shrewd vapor]

sry if i don't understand the doc and all your message, english is not my native langage

[slate swan]

English doesn't matter here, it's python knowledge you're lacking of

See https://clouds.eos.ubc.ca/~phil/docs/problem_solving/07-Functions-and-Modules/07.07-Positional-and-Keyword-Arguments.html

[fathom tundra]

okay

thanks
